About a week ago, our cable internet connection went out. Before I had a chance to reboot the modem & router, my 11 year old decided to completely reset the router to factory settings! Ugh! This caused several issues: my home network is now gone, only a unsecured factory network is available. When I try to plug my laptop into the router via ethernet cord (in order to login to router and setup secure network) my computer will not recognize the router and won't connect to internet. I tried troubleshooting with my cable provider and they say it's in my computer (IP address will not reset) and he recommended I replace my network card. However, today when I brought my laptop to work, it will instantly recognize the wifi at work. So is it really my network card that is causing issues? Please help, I'm desperate and not tech too tech savvy!

I have a HP Notebook 15. I restarted my laptop this morning and when it came back on, all options for connecting to the internet via WiFi were gone. I am able to connect to the internet via ethernet cable, and everything works this way.There are no options whatsoever to connect to WiFi or reset the connection or anything, however the WiFi itself is working because other devices in the house are connected to it. I followed a HP technical support online page, which provided step-by-step instructions of various ways to reconnect to WiFi but nothing worked. I tried restarting the computer, updating the driver software, making sure it wasn't in airplane mode, and troubleshooting. Nothing worked. What should I try next?

A:Unable to find Wifi adapter - Cannot connect to WiFi

Hi @jgkelly2, Welcome to HP Forums! I understand that wireless connection stopped working on your laptop. I want to help. Please run the Component test - Wireless Module to verify if the wireless network adapter is functioning well.HP Notebook PCs - Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 10, 8) If the test failed, the wireless adapter needs to be replaced. Let me know if you need further assistance. If this helps you to reach a solution, please click the "Accept as Solution" button down below in this message. If you wish to say "thanks" for my effort to help, click the "thumbs up" to give me a Kudos. Regards,

HiHad this laptop for a few weeks now and never had trouble connecting to wifi at home. But today I am unable to connect to wifi and I did a troubleshoot and it says that the problem is - 'WiFi doesn't have a valid IP configuration'I know the problem is my laptop and not the wifi as it is working fine on my iPad.Can someone help please?Thanks,Dee

A:Can't connect to wifi - 'wifi doesn't have a valid IP config...

Hi there @Dee85 Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel. I understand that you are having troubles with connecting to your home network; I am happy to help. Have you tried connecting to a different network with this notebook?Does the wifi (available connections) show up on your notebook at all?Have you tried resetting your wireless router? The error you are getting sounds like the router is not passing on a local IP address to your notebook. The problem could be on either side of that. Try working through these.Troubleshooting wireless network and Internet (Windows 8)Also, you can look at the power management for your wireless adapter:Disable the Power Off option for the adapter:1. Open Device Manager. (Win Key+R > type devmgmt.msc > OK)2. Expand the Network adapters.3. Right click on the Ethernet/Wireless Adapter and click Properties.4. Click the Power Management tab.5. Remove the check mark beside Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.6. Click OK.7. Test. Forget the network: (Windows 8)1. Press Windows Key + C2. Click Settings.3. Click Change PC settings.4. Click Network on the left.5. Click Manage known networks.6. Click the network name.7. Click Forget.Reset the TCP/IP settings on your PC:1. Go to your start screen/menu and type CMD.2. Right click on the command prompt icon and chose Run as administrator.3. In the window that opens type "netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt" without quotes, and press enter.4. Restart your PC and test.It may also help to reset the winsock catalogue:1. Go to your start screen/menu and type CMD.2. Right click on the command prompt icon and chose Run as administrator.3. In the window that opens type "netsh winsock reset" without quotes, and press enter.4. Restart your PC and test.Reinstall the network adapter drivers:1. Download the drivers from here but do not run them yet.2. Go to your start screen/menu and type Device Manager.3. Expand Network adapters.4. Right click on the wireless adapter and choose Uninstall.5. Run the downloaded drivers from step 1.6. Restart your PC and test.Test an ethernet connection:Self explanatory. Test if the issue persists on a wired connection to rule out the wireless adapter hardware so troubleshooting can be directed towards the right areas.Test another connection:Many people rule out their home network as an issue if another device is working on the same network. Networking is not that simple. Each device interacts differently with your router or modem and it is impossible to rule out settings in that device until the notebook has been tested on another network.

A:Possible to connect iPhone's wifi to computer that is connected by wifi to the net?

Doesn't hurt (except maybe your time) to try. Get an ad-hoc wireless network working between computer and iPhone (using dynamic addressing). Then in Network Connections bridge the two wireless connections.

If it doesn't work, show the following for the computer before you bridge and when you have the bridge.

Start, Run, CMD, OK to open a command prompt:(For Vista type CMD in the Search box after Start)

Type the following command:

IPCONFIG /ALL

[Note that there is no space between the slash and ALL.]

Right click in the command window and choose Select All, then hit Enter.Paste the results in a message here.

If necessary use a text file and removable media to copy the results to a computer with internet access.

I have a new problem that has just cropped up today. I am no longer able to connect to public wifi or my phone's wireless hotspot. My laptop either will not connect or connect with limited access. It has connected without issue in the past and as soon as I returned home it connected to my wifi here.

What I did notice is I am connected to an unidentified network with no internet access in addition to my home wireless network:Specs:Acer Aspire S7 392Windows 8.1 64 bitIntel Dual Band Wireless 7260 (driver updated)Disabled my firewall and antivirus

I just connected to my phone's hotspot again and here is what I am coming up with:Attachment 57082

And when I run ipconfig/renewAttachment 57083

Any ideas what could be causing this?

A:Can only connect to home wifi - no public/hotspot wifi

What Internet Security software are you using? Are you using any third party software to manage network connections?

Wifi doesn't connect when i move away from wifi router. I have a wifi router installed in my drawing room where i get good browsing speed on phones and laptops. But the problem starts when i take my laptop from drawing room to my bedroom which is not more than 5 mtrs from router. Wifi signal drops to zero on laptop whereas it remains decent on phones. Earlier my laptop used to connect in bedroom as well..This is happening lately. Is there any solution?

I'm running 8.1. In some hotels I access their wifi and the icon says connected, but its not. No splash screen or anything. Other hotels and places I connect without any trouble when the icon says connected. What can I do? I deleted previous connections
that I will not use again.

Hi i recently upgraded from vista to Windows 7. The wifi icon that detects wifi is missing....

Using speccy it says that wifi has not been enabled....how do i enable it? Any Ideas?

I have visited the Packard Bell website to update drivers but the only info I have on the model is Notebook ZH7 but amazingly there is no refernece to this model on their site. I have downloaded and scanned and installed drivers from Device Doctor but still no joy...

How on earth can I connect to the internet? Any ideas? THANKS

A:No wifi icon at a loss to connect by wifi

hi is there not a button the top of the keyboard that turns wireless on or off?

Latitude E running Windows Was working fine and then days ago the wifi dropped and won't go back on When I boot up the wifi icon shows wifi to a Can't Wifi shows any red more. icon x. connect black and white with the little asterisk I can click on it and see my network and my neighbors all showing up fine However after I click to try to join the network it thinks for a bit and then says Can't connect to this network Even if I put Can't connect to wifi any more. Wifi icon shows a red x. in the wrong passcode I get the same error so it's Can't connect to wifi any more. Wifi icon shows a red x. never getting far enough to even validate that After I click Close to that the Wifi icon then shows with a red white x I can then no longer see any wifi networks available at all After a minute or so the red white 'x' goes away and I can then try again but get the exact same results The network card that was in the laptop DW didn't technically have a Windows driver from Dell so I took a card from a different laptop that is supported DW but it has the exact same results I also tried connecting to a different wifi and got the exact same results Anyone have any idea what might be causing this or how I can fix it My other laptops phones Fire TV stick etc can all connect to the router just fine The laptop was just reimaged a week or so ago and worked fine for a few days before this happened Thanks

This is the idea, I have DVR for CCTV and I need to configure it for port forwarding, and since it has only LAN connection it is not possible to connect in pocket wifi, so i used to have a wireless router since it has a LAN connection. But I do not know how to do this connection as the wireless router to be a bridge in my pocket wifi to DVR, Anyone know how to do this? Thanks!

A:How to connect pocket wifi to wireless router, to connect the dvr for cctv?

I'm not at all sure I understand. Are you trying to use the wireless router as a Wireless Bridge (to connect to the pocket wifi via wireless and the DVR via ethernet)? If so, does the router have wireless bridge (or AP Client) mode?

I'm a new Plusnet customer and I cannot connect to the internet using wifi I just get a page saying the broadband is down. So I tried using an ethernet cable and after manually setting this up I can use the internet. I accidentally disconnected the cable yesterday but the internet didn't fault, it's now working wirelessly. I can connect to the wifi using my mobile and iPad but I cannot connect to the internet. A new router has been sent and the problem still persists, a bt engineer has also visited but cannot find a solution.

Can anybody please help me?

A:I can't connect to wifi but connect with an Ethernet cable works, even when it isn't plugged in

It gets confusing as to which device is being used so as a guidelinedisable one or the other (wifi vs wired) and don't allow both to be active at the same time. Technically, which ever device gets an IP address from your router will become the gateway to your ISP - - ignoring the connectivity of the second device to access your router.

With a laptop, we just toggle the keyboard to enable/disable wifi and the wired is easy - - just pull the cable out.

create a desktop shortcut to \windows\system32\devmgmt.mscto control the devices (needs admin access)expand [+] network adapters and you'll see the listmine are

A:My Laptop won't connect to Wifi, but will connect with an Ethernet cord

How far from the router are you? I experience the same thing occasionally on my laptop.I usually have to switch the wifi switch off on the laptop & on then I reboot & I'm back online. My laptop & tower are both about 50' away & on the lower floor where the router is. Good luck.

hi, i have an alienware m15x r2 which i recently upgraded to windows 8 through a clean install. everything works great except for the wireless, and i cannot for the life of me figure out whats run. ive tried about 10 different wifi points on campus and tried wirelessly tethering tommy phone and nothing works. the wireless card is a broadcom aw1397. also when i run ipconfig, it says there is no default gateway for the connection

My HP Envy m6 laptop cannot connect to our wifi connection and only connects using the cable connection, ethernet. It was still fine when I downloaded windows 8.1 but all of a sudden displays limited/no connectivity. I tried everything I can including resetting tcp ip settings thru command prompt, finding other drivers till someone suggested me to put my laptop back to windows 8. Still didn't fix the problem. Now, my laptop does not access wifi nor detect any wireless connection whether our home wifi, or others. Please do help me. I really need to fix this. I'm a student and I badly need wifi connection since its the only available connection in our school. I am not knowledgable about this issue and it would be really great if someone could help. Thank you so much!

Hi All After much trawling on the net i have finally given in and am seeking direct help When i choose the connection's icon from the task bar to connect to wifi the connection side bar appears for a brief instant and disappears At the moment i can connect to the network in my home since it is default but anywhere else i cant choose a new network Same occurs when i try to display available networks from the network and sharing centre I made a workaround which is very cumbersome for a casual user command prompt and listed and deleted the profiles using the netsh wlan command Network and sharing Setup new connection Connect connect. Wifi disappearing, cant sidebar or network Manually connect to a wireless network typed the credentials of the network checked start this connection automatically box and apply i needed to know the details for this Any answers as to why i cant' see the list of available networks or an easier work around or just see it briefly would be a help Cheers in advance Gerry

Hello guys,i'm new here and Im really desperate for your help!As i stated,when I try to connect to my wifi it says unable to connect because it is hidden.The really annoying thing though is tha i can connect via my smartphone without any problem.Do you have any suggestions? Im using Vista if that matters.

A:When I try to connect to my wifi it says unable to connect because it is hidden

I have a free wifi connection provided by my property management it is unsecured and password free I've been connecting to it with no problems on my laptop running vista for weeks. I bought a tenda 11n wireless usb device so I could get my desktop connected to it also, I set up and installed the card I connect to the wireless network like it was nothing but it will not connect to the internet please try and help me out thanks

A:Free wifi in my apy will connect but won't connect w/ internet

Imagine that. On another board, it was a neighbor, and I closed that because you are violating the terms of service for the ISP. Now you're here, and suddenly it's a new story.

In any case, I'm closing this one too, since I really doubt the second story!

You may want to read the TSG Rules, we don't assist in illegal activities here either.

Hope you are all doing good. From past few days I am not able to connect to any wireless networks on my laptop which is running windows 7 64-bit. I didn't change/install anything, it stopped working suddenly. I was able to connect to LAN and it's working perfectly fine. All other devices (phones and others computers) are able to connect to my Wi-Fi networks. I tried many things like re-installing my Wi-Fi adapter drivers, reset my router, clearing the Wi-Fi networks and adding them, many reboots, and few steps like clearing DNS and other settings as per the instructions on the Microsoft website. Can you please review and advise a good solution. Please let me know if you need any further info.

Hey guys I while to WIFI being able Can't to ethernet connect connect to m new to this forum and wasn t sure where to post this question but I decided to put it here as it seems to be where most people have had internet queries I m a bit perplexed at the moment For the last few days I ve been trying to somehow fix my internet problem I scoured other forums for similar questions and tried all the things they ve said and still had no luck so I ve run out of options and decided to Can't connect to ethernet while being able to connect to WIFI set up this Can't connect to ethernet while being able to connect to WIFI account and ask myself I have a virgin media super hub Recently the ethernet cable wouldn t connect I tried other ethernet cables to see if it was due to me breaking it and no luck Not sure if it s a coincidence or not but at the same time I also wasn t able to connect to the ghz supplied by the router So I m left with ghz wireless at the moment My friend also can t connect to the ghz on the router so it might be something to do with the router rather than my laptop but I m not sure what would have caused it in the last few days it s a new router hub too only about a month old I think generally you re supposed to post your ipconfig Which I ll post if asked I ve tried flushing the DNS ipconfig renew release etc So i m really stuck for ideas nbsp

I usually use the internet in 3 locations on my laptop and till a few days back the laptop would connect fine to all 3 wifi networks. However, out of the blue my laptop stopped connecting to the wifi at location A and B, and still connects fine at location C. Other laptops and phones still connect fine to the wifi at location A and B, there's been no change in the software on my laptop since before the problem and I've run a system restore too to back when it was working, with no luck. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the adapter driver, also cleared my saved network locations and tried to connect again. Any other suggestions?

A:Error "Windows was unable to connect to ABC" when trying to connect to ABC wifi.

Need the info from "netsh wlan show all". Not the IPconfig. Also need the exact model of the Netgear router. How far away is the computer from the router, when you try to connect? Also how is the router placed? Is it back behind a tv or under a desk or bookcase?

I started your own thread for you here so that we may better try to help you.

Make sure you have the latest wireless driver from the laptop manufacturer's web site.

What exactly happens when you attempt to connect?

Please attach a screen shot of the Networks page (don't collapse the Radar, Connection or Signal History) of the Xirrus Wi-Fi Inspector. If you need help with that see TSG Posting a Screenshot. FWIW to take screen shots with Windows 8 or 7 or Vista I prefer to use the built-in Snipping Tool.

I'm staying with a friend and my pc has been connected to the wifi since Monday. A short while ago it lost connection and won't reconnect.I've restarted the router and the pc but it still won't connect.

A:Can't connect to wifi

The diagnostic on the pic says that the default gateway is not available What does that mean?

I just purchased a new laptop today. Since HP support refuses to help me with a simple problem w/o paying even more, I have decided to seek help here, before I return the item. The laptop will not connect to my wifi using the password provided by my IP. I have connected all my other devices using the same password. Anyone know what the problem could be?

hey guys i have recently installed windows 7 to my IBM thinkpad T43 Type 1871. I have managed to install updates needed to run internet connections. I can connect to my home wifi using an Ethernet Cable, but i can't connect to it wirelessly. All of my other devices like my Kindle and phone connect to my home wifi wirelessy, but not my laptop. At this point i am guessing that the problem is with my laptop or the new installation. I have been dealing with this for a while and i want to get this problem resolved, please someody help me with this.P.s I am using a Century link Modem

My laptop is unable to cannot to any wifi netwroks. I am getting error message as 'Can't connect to this network'. I have searched through all the forum, did the troubleshooting through HP support assistant. I have tried restarting the modem as well but nothing works. Please advice.

A:Can't connect to wifi

Hi Well the obvious thing to do is to change networks, channels or frequencies. You don't actually mention what network the machine doesn't like. But if we assume all networks are unavailable, and work from there. Is there a Wi-Fi card fitted? Type / Model / Manufacturer details listed here would be welcome. If YES then it should show in Device Manager. Does it? Without a Yellow warning triangle? Drivers installed / loaded? Evidence would be nice. A screenshot of the setup / connection screens you go thru may help to establish the hardware is there and functioning. Help us to help you. Moving on to things you can try ceeandbeetee.uk for further reading / troubleshooting. netfix.bat to help ID stuff and eliminate problems. Copy, Paste and Save As netfix.bat the code below using NotePad.

Hey ! I have kept my WIFI router on the ground floor of my house and I use Internet upstairs in my room. And I have been using it since months now with a considerably strong signal. But some days ago I found thatu computer shows a really weak signal and hardly connects to the network but it works as normal as it used to on my phone so no signal interference. And I am sure it's a problem with the software not the Hardware. And when I run a troubleshoot this error shows up 'An unexpected error has occurred. The troubleshooting wizard can't continue '. And then when I click on view error details it shows this :error code : 0x80070002 . please help I want to use WIFI on my computer as I used to

A:Can't connect to WiFi

Hello, and Welcome

What is the make and model of the computer. Is your Windows 7 64bit?

There may be some kind of interference with the Wireless Signal. Have you tried changing the channel on the wireless router?

In Device Manager Right click your Wireless adapter and select Properties. Under the details tab select Hardware ID's in the dropdown box. Copy and Paste the first line in your next post?

Thank you

Sorry for my bad english

A:I cannot connect to Wifi well D:

Hi,We may need a little bit more info. Your system specs says your OS is 64 bit. What kind of OS? There are a lot of reasons why your wifi connection adapter may be doing this. Do you have a static-IP? Have you tried re-installing/disabling your adapter? Are your putting in the right password? There are alot of question so before anyone can help you you are going to have to explain a little bit better.

Hi!My computer won't connect to wifi, it does not even see the wifi connections I can only connect the internet with ethernet cable. How can I solve this issue?(I believe I have driver problems but not sure.) Thanks!

My laptop no longer connects to my wifi if I'm up stairs, it says that my wifi has limited internet or it doesn't connect at all , however I'm able to connect to the internet on other devices.The only way I can Connect to the internet is if I'm standing or sitting next to the internet in the living room.

My convertible laptop is not connection or even picking up wifi. My WiFi is working as I am logged on via tablet & cellphone. Please help me to resolve. I had not logged in in a few days and it took longer than usual to open. I tried restart but it hasn't completed that task still saying "working on updates don't turn off computer." It's also initial when first opening was slow to respond to commands to open apps and features.

I am using HP 14 notebook with the window of 8.1 and 64-bit operating system, Ralink RT3290 802.11bgn wifi adapter with the driver v5.0.37.0 can't connect to wifi although it can detect the available wifi. What can I do to solve the problem? I had tried to disable the wifi adapter and enable again, format laptop but still cannot solve the problem.

A:Can't connect to wifi

Hi @Boonlee, Thank you all the information on what you have done. If the HP 14 Notebook detects Wireless that means the adapter is working. Here is a link to troubleshoot the Wireless. I would change the Channel on the router. Routers are capable of communicating to your Notebook on several different channels. If your neighbours Wi-Fi is on the same channel, your network speeds might have issues. Try opening Device Manager, clicking Control Panel, clicking System and Maintenance, and then clicking Device Manager.

My sister has an hp laptop with windows xp and it won't connect to our Netgear router. When I choose my wireless network and press connect, it won't let me because it says "Windows is unable to connect to the selected network. The network may no longer be in range." Can someone please help me connect to the wifi.

A:I can't connect to my wifi.

Can any computer connect to the Netgear Wireless Router? If other computers can connect to the wireless, then delete the saved wireless profiles, on this computer then try and connect again.

Ok so the only way I can get online with my laptop at home is through wifi, and randomly one day it started saying that I needed an ethernet cable, which I don't have. I have a Toshiba (Satellite L505D). When I press f8, nothing happens, and when I press fn, everything shows up except for f8. I tried looking for TBSwireless and it isn't anywhere on my computer. There's no wifi switch on the outside, and I even did a system restore to the day before I started having this problem. I just am really frustrated and need to be able to get online. Help! ;~;

Please explain why ethernet is not an option for testing.

Don't know about your model, but the switch used to be on the front placed low enough that it was easy to overlook. Some (many?) manufacturers have now gone to a pressure switch somewhere above the keyboard. Else there should be a key combination to toggle the Wi-Fi on/off.

I opened my laptop one day and it said it could not connect to the router becuase the security settings did not match.

Since then I have tried everything including deleting the network, resetting the laptop, resetting the router, changing the settings, changing the password, and going through step by step instructions found on the internet.

Hi I need help because I'm trying to use WiFi on Acer aspire one aoa 110 but I can't it keeps telling me acquiring network address and it stays like that forever.I tried disconnecting and connecting but it won't work.

Hello,
I can't connect to wifi.
My pc shows the icon with a yellow star.
When I try to connect I get this error:
Can't connect to [My wifi name.].
Lan works perfectly fine.
Yesterday I still had connection but now I don't.
I got these network adapters:

My laptop is an Acer Aspire 5750g 64-bit.

A:can't connect to wifi

Well; first for something simple; I would try removing all 3 network adapters shown; reboot; then re-add/re-install the adapters then reboot again and see if that solves the issue for you. If not; try power cycling your router/network equipment including any routers and modems. Unplug them, wait about a minute or so; then plug them back in with plugging in the modem(s) first; letting those boot fully; then plug the router(s)/network equipment back in and let that boot. Sometimes what happens is they just need a simple reset as thats just what happens with computer equipment from time to time. If neither of these work; post back and we can go from there.

Dear Customer, If your computer has a wireless key or button on or near the keyboard and the wireless activity light (AIRPLANE SYMBOL) is off or amber in color, then press the key or button to enable your wireless adapter. This key might be the F10 key, F12 key, or labeled with a symbol of an airplane.If wireless activity comes on or the activity light turns blue, you have enabled wireless on your system.

Welcome to TSG:We have seen quite a bit of issues with this adapter.Here are some things to try :Courtesy of ETAF and Terrynet on the Networking Forum:------------------------------------------------------------------------Atheros AR5007EG & AR5007 We have recently been seeing a lot of problems with the above adapters over the last few months, mainly concerning WPA and WPA2 encryption and windows Vista.

The adapter gets an IP configuration, and shows as connected, but communication is non-existent or sporadic.

Log into the Router and disable the wireless security and see if you are now able to connect to the internet and surf OK. --- Please post back here if that works or does not work.

Here are a number of possible solutions

--- 1) In Device Manager right click on the wireless adapter and "update driver." That apparently has worked for some posters.

--- 2) Download and install the latest wireless driver from your laptop manufacturer's web site support section, as some manufactures, appear to now have a working driver available. Toshiba - update has worked for some PCsHP The latest HP Atheros driver dated Sept 2010 has fixed the issue - so check the driver date, However, that does NOT apply to all HPs / Compaqs machines- the poster did an online scan for driver updates on the HP website here HP Product Detection which resulted in a solution. Solved: Can't connect to internet wirelessly - Atheros AR5007 Wifi through Clear Comm - Tech Support Guy Forums

If you can post the Make and EXACT model of your PC here, along with the windows version you have and we will see if we can find the driver and will post a link as a reply here.

--- 3) On one occasion re-setting the router back to factory default and re-configuring the router settings has resolved the issue

--- 4) A few posters here with the same issue have found that the driver from this site ATHEROS drivers for Microsoft Windows resolved the issueThreads are here Solved: Public Network - Access: Local Only (Please help!) - Tech Support Guy ForumsSolved: NetGear WNDR3700 Incompatibilty W/ Atheros AR5700 - Tech Support Guy ForumsSolved: Local connection only when connected to secured wirless - Tech Support Guy ForumsSolved: Unidentified Network - Tech Support Guy ForumsUnidentified NetworkI do NOT know anything about the site mentioned ATHEROS drivers for Microsoft Windows

However, if you do decide to try the driver, Please let us know the outcome

My laptop will connect fine in my home to our wireless connection but when i go out it doesnt find any wi fi! i dont know if maybe ive deleted something off it sometime as i was running low on memory and i just went delete crazy!! hope someone can help me!!

A:help me connect to wifi!!

If you'd deleted something vital for network detection, your home wi-fi connection wouldn't work either so I don't think that's the issue.

Maybe there just aren't any networks in range when your laptop doesn't find any away from home?

Hi,I have 2 laptops and one of them wont connect to my new D-Link DIR-615. It worked for a while but then suddenly the morning after I installed the router it fails when I try to connect to the wifi. Now I've tried everything I can think of. Reinstalled the router with different encryption. Updated drivers to networkcard. Deleted saved network wifi settings.

The thing is that the laptop that struggles with the WiFi earlier had some problem connecting to internet with cable. It worked for a while but then suddenly it stopped working. Then I either rebooted the computer or rebooted the networkcard and it solved the problem. Allthough the problem kept coming back. I don't know if these 2 problems is somewhat connected.

What I want to do is be able to control my PC from my TV screen. I mean I want to be able to stream a live ball game or movie I have on my PC hard drive & see it on my TV. I heard about Roku & thought that is what I wanted or Blueray with DLNA. But Roku just pulls streams from subscriber sites like Netflix & Hulu. DLNA will allow you to view video you have on your HDD but will not let you stream live feeds like watching a live event that is streaming on your PC. Is there any hardware out there that will allow me to have what?s on my PC screen on my TV screen via wifi (or other means)? Thanks!

A:How can I connect my PC to TV via Wifi?

After much research I've decided the best option would be:http://www.amazon.com/Sony-SMP-N200-Streaming-Media-Player/dp/B005MR6CNK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1324329032&sr=8-1

Its basically a DLNA capable Blueray machine without the disk player part. I have not played a actual DVD on my TV in ages. It will allow me to watch stuff I have on my PC & has internet, streaming options as well. Not 100% what I was shooting for but close enough. Thanks!

Hi guys, I'm having trouble connecting two of my devices to the internet via WiFi. One is a laptop (Lenovo G560)-- I'm getting a "Windows was unable to connect to XXX" when trying to connect, and when I do an ipconfig /release, it says "No operation can be performed on Wireless Network Connection while it has its media disconnected." I've tried reinstalling the wireless drivers but it doesn't seem to be working.

The second is a desktop with a TP-Link USB adapter. Same problem here as well.

The weird thing is that everything else works. I suspected that it's my modem or router, but my phone can connect fine, as does my Chromebook. My primary desktop is working fine via ethernet connection.

Thanks.

A:Cannot connect to WiFi

For testing try disabling the encryption on the router and see if you can connect.On the Lenovo G560Press Windows flag key + R and in the open field type: cmd (press enter)In the command prompt type: netsh wlan show all (press enter)Copy the results and paste in your next reply.

I just bought a new laptop today. HP m6-1225dr, running, unfortunately, Windows 8

I cannot to connect to wifi. Eventually, not sure how I finally got it to work since it wasn't at first, I can connect when the ethernet cable is plugged into the router. I called HP and they kept telling me to call comcast, even though NOTHING is showing up.

It says "wi-fi no networks found" - not sure what else to do. I'm in control panel and when I try to manually connect it says an unexpected error occurred.

I downloaded, from my other computer, network drivers I found on the hp website, which is why I think I was able to connect with the ethernet.

For around 24 hours now my laptop hasn't been able to connect to wifi for some reason. Wired connection works and the wifi on all other devices works too. When I troubleshoot, it says "investigate router or access point issues". I have restarted my router but the issue is still there.

Running Windows 7 Home Premium on a netbook. Since yesterday get message "Windows cannot connect to wifi". Running checks suggests resetting the router, but two other devices, an IPad and an almost identical netbook are connected no problem. I havn't changed anything. It can see the router. Done normal reboots, disconnect reuse connect adapter etc. no luck. This has happened before on two other computers on different routers, and we don't know what eventually fixed it, although changing the encryption method might have solved one of them, even though that computer had been connecting for weeks before the failure. The only one of our family devices never to have experienced this is the IPad. Help please.

Hello Hukirower,

Have you tried updating the wireless card drivers? It should either ship with DW 1704/1705. You can also try running the built-in wireless troubleshooter. That should fix most connectivity issues. If this fails to resolve the issue, you can do a system restore to a point the issue didn't exist. However, I would suggest the latter after you have taken a backup of your personal files.

Help Guys am suffering a lot I need one to help. my pc is lenovo b50 w8.1 running on 64-bit. few days earlier it was unable to power on and we had used a format CD to reset it to factory mode but after I have lost many softwares and driver, also wlan driver's gone. we've tried to install many wlan drivers but they can't help. I cant' see the wifi icon and when I try to connect by cmd prompt in netsh wlan commands it says there's no wireless interface on the system. I can only connect to broadband and ethernet but wifi icon is gone. Any one help, God bless.

Suddenlly my aspire e15 cannot connect to the wifi. The problem never occur before even i just use it lastnight. Then i figured out the wifi adapter should installed have disappeared. Now my network adapter only got 2 ethernet adapter...what should i do?

A couple years ago I bought a Netgear Wireless-G Router WGR61v10 and it worked completely fine, since I haved moved to a knew location and hooked up all the wires again I haven't been able to connect to my wifi with any of my electronics. I have been able to use neighboring wifis that did not require a password and everything works fine, but when i use mine it refuses to let me connect. While using one of my electronics i have come to notice my wireless name is in the list of other users in my area. When I click on it, it shows that I am connected with a little check mark, but when going on to the internet it does not work. I don't know what the problem is and neighboring passwords are just not enough juice to keep me conected. Please help!

A:Cannot connect to WiFi

Some older laptops have switches that turn the connection on and off....make sure it's on. Also, some laptops come with a wifi network application that controls your connections. I've had problems in the past with conflicts when there is too many wifi applications running. I always turn off the extra application, and use only the windows wifi connection controller, or the adapter's controller if it's an external wifi card or usb adapter.

That's a good place to start, others here may have a better idea if you listed exactly what your system is (model # and/or adapter you are using).

My laptop (specs on my signature) is having bizarre behaviors, first thing i'm noticing is that is not connecting to my wifi... it does it everynow and then. I usually solve it by connecting it via ethernet to my router, use explorer to enter the router, resetting the wifi, and after that it works... but again, it's just a move by like.

Now i tried to do the same but internet explorer doesn't start, i runned a fix that i found online and i got the debug messages attached.... anyone can suggest where shall i try troubleshooting?

I tried to set up a yagi antenna and router to boost wifi reception but could not complete. My friend changed some settings while trying and now I can't connect at all. However, if I log off as me and back on as guest I can connect to the wifi connection. I have tried to reset the computer to an earlier date but it refuses. What changes do I need to make to be able to get back on - I can't use IE or Chrome as me but IE works as guest.

So I had to replace my hard drive, and I installed a new hard drive onto my computer and reinstalled windows 8.1 from the windows website. However, I am now unable to connect to any wifi at all. It says I need an Ethernet cable to connect to wifi, but with the previous hard drive I was able to connect to wifi. What happened? I can still access the files on my old hard drive if need be.

I am trying to get my friends laptop to connect to the wifi. It seams they missed a few updates, and aren't able to connect to the internet. Their laptop doesn't even pick up wifi networks. I ran a windows update that was ready to be installed, to see if that would fix anything, but it did not. I also downloaded the latest wifi driver for the divice from HP onto my personal computer and installed it onto the Hp Stream 11 via flashdrive. Still no avail. The error the Hp Network check is throwing says "This computer is expriencing a network connectivity problem (999)". Further information would be the laptop says the firewall is down. Help is much appreciated.
